J. T. Dillon (1988), education professor, provides some advice for teachers to encourage student questions:

• Provide a place for student questions in your instruction and wait for them by
  • Periodically during a unit asking students to write down questions they have about the topic being studied
  • Basing a lecture, discussion, or exam on students’ questions
  • Inviting students to question you or other students during discussions
  • Teaching students to question texts and other instructional materials
• Welcome questions.
• Sustain the question by:
  • Reinforcing and rewarding perplexity and the spirit of inquiry
  • Helping students come up with a way to answer the question
  • Finding out what the question is from the student’s point of view
  • Appreciating the student’s knowledge revealed by the question
  • Expressing genuine interest in the question
